Indonesia oil well blow-out belonging to the Lapindo Brantas company, a complete ecological disaster. Not oil but boiling mud & muddy water. Blowing out over 1 million bbls/day.

Over 29,000+ acres, are literally under mud & water, anywhere from 10′-45′. Over 15,000 people have been displaced. Farm land, homes, villages, manufacturing plants, stores are devastated & under all this mud & water.
